Default Air Pump Removal

I removed the air pump on my '89 yesterday and installed the Breathless pully,
I also remove the diverter valve and all of the plumbing, my questions are as follows:

1. What do a I do with the two plugs that go to the diverter valve?

2. Will unpluging and stowing these plugs cause a problem with the ECM, i.e. set any codes?

Currently I have stowed the plugs out of harms way.

Remove all A.I.R. system components...use the rubber "caps" on the exhaust manifold tubes. I didn't set any codes with the wiring harness "dangling free."

I dont get any codes and I've had this for 2 years now. Just use some black electrical tape on those plugs and stuff em' in the bracket for the ac.

Red90sixspeed,
Didn't you use the black tape on the dashboard so you wouldn't see if you got any codes ;)

Lee, that was something "else" unrelated ;)

BTW, did you get your car running yet? It seems to be down an awful lot. :p:
